addressin

A protein encoded by MADCAM1 on chromosome 19p13.3, which is a member of the immunoglobulin family and similar to ICAM1 and VCAM1. It is an endothelial cell-adhesion molecule which interacts preferentially with the leukocytes beta7 integrin LPAM-1, L-selectin and VLA-4 on myeloid cells, directing leukocytes into mucosal and inflamed tissues.

(1993) MAdCAM-1 has homology to immunoglobulin and mucin-like adhesion receptors and to IgA1.
The molecular cues regulating immune cell trafficking
In specific, expression was moderate for [CD4.sup.+] and [CD8.sup.+] T-lymphocytes, while high for [CD68.sup.+] macrophages and MAdCAM-1. Tissue expression score was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in the group RFA compared to the group Sham for all biomarkers (Figure 1).
Receptors and their ligands necessary for T-cell homing in the intestine include MAdCAM-1, integrin a4b7, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, very late antigen-4 (a4b1), vascular cell adhesion protein 1, CCR9, CCL25, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1, and P-selectin [19].
According to animal studies, obstructive jaundice downregulates the numbers of [CD4.sup.+] and [CD8.sup.+] T-lymphocytes and MAdCAM-1 expression in the lamina propria [23].

Vedolizumab specifically binds to the alpha4beta7 integrin and blocks its interaction with MAdCAM-1, therefore inhibiting the white blood cells from entering the inflamed gut tissue, thus decreasing inflammation.
